That was my original query, yes. Patrick raised JSON, and his format is different from the ChemicalJSON raised by Tim (as part of the "OpenChemistry" project). There's also the unrelated ChemDoodle JSON format: http://web.chemdoodle.com/docs/chemdoodle-json-format So of course under Open Babel, I'd love to know if there's a way we can agree on a "ChemicalJSON standard" -- or at least a common core. -Geoff P.S. Igor, I think we passed 101 formats a while ago. :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
